Ezekiel 7

vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor

The word of GOD came to me:

ve'attah ven-adam koh-amar adonay Elohim le'admat yisra'el qets ba haqqets al-[arba] (rvt) kanfot ha'arets

You, O mortal, [say:] Thus said the Sovereign GOD to the land of Israel: Doom! Doom is coming upon the four corners of the land.

attah haqqets alayikh veshillakhti appi bakh ushefattikh kidrakhayikh venatatti alayikh et kol-to'avotayikh

Now doom is upon you! I will let loose My anger against you and judge you according to your ways; I will requite you for all your abominations.

velo-takhos eni alayikh velo ekhmol ki derakhayikh alayikh etten veto'avotayikh betokhekh tihyena vidatem ki-ani Adonai

I will show you no pity and no compassion; but I will requite you for your ways and for the abominations in your midst. And you shall know that I am GOD.

koh amar adonay Elohim ra'ah akhat ra'ah hinneh va'ah

Thus said the Sovereign GOD: A singular disaster; a disaster is coming.

qets ba ba haqqets heqits elayikh hinneh ba'ah

Doom is coming! The hour of doom is coming! It stirs against you; there it comes!

ba'ah hatsefirah elekha yoshev ha'arets ba ha'et qarov hayyom mehumah velo-hed harim

The cycle has come around for you, O inhabitants of the land; the time has come; the day is near. There is panic on the mountains, not joy.

attah miqqarov eshpokh khamati alayikh vekhilleti appi bakh ushefattikh kidrakhayikh venatatti alayikh et kol-to'avotayikh

Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you and spend My anger on you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will requite you for all your abominations.

velo-takhos eni velo ekhmol kidrakhayikh alayikh etten veto'avotayikh betokhekh tihyena vidatem ki ani Adonai makkeh

I will show you no pity and no compassion; but I will requite you for your ways, and for the abominations in your midst. And you shall know it was I, GOD, who punished.

hinneh hayyom hinneh va'ah yatse'ah hatsefirah tsats hammatteh parakh hazzadon

Here is the day! See, the cycle has come round; it has appeared. The rod has blossomed; arrogance has budded,

hekhamas qam lematteh-resha lo-mehem velo mehamonam velo mehemehem velo-noah bahem

lawlessness has grown into a rod of wickedness. Nothing comes of them, nor of their abundance, nor of their wealth; nor is there preeminence among them.

ba ha'et higgia hayyom haqqoneh al-yismakh vehammokher al-yitabbal ki kharon el-kol-hamonah

The time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn—for divine wrath shall overtake all Jerusalem’s multitude.

ki hammokher el-hammimkar lo yashuv ve'od bakhayyim khayyatam ki-khazon el-kol-hamonah lo yashuv ve'ish ba'avono khayyato lo yitkhazzaqu

For the seller shall not return to what was sold so long as both parties remain among the living. For the vision concerns all her multitude, it shall not be revoked. And because of their own guilt, none shall hold fast to their life.

taqe'u vattaqoa vehakhin hakkol ve'en holekh lammilkhamah ki kharoni el-kol-hamonah

They have sounded the horn, and all is prepared; but no one goes to battle, for My wrath is directed against all her multitude.

hakherev bakhuts vehaddever vehara'av mibbayit asher bassadeh bakherev yamut va'asher ba'ir ra'av vadever yokhelennu

The sword is outside and pestilence and famine are inside; those in the field shall die by the sword, those in the town shall be devoured by famine and pestilence.

ufaletu pelitehem vehayu el-heharim keyone hagge'ayot kullam homot ish ba'avono

And if any survive, they shall take to the mountains; they shall be like doves of the valley, moaning together—everyone for their own iniquity.

kol-hayyadayim tirpenah vekhol-birkayim telakhnah mayim

All hands shall grow weak, and all knees shall turn to water.

vekhageru saqqim vekhissetah otam pallatsut ve'el kol-panim bushah uvekhol-rashehem qorkhah

They shall gird on sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; every face shall betray shame, and every head shall be made bald.

kaspam bakhutsot yashlikhu uzehavam leniddah yihyeh kaspam uzehavam lo-yukhal lehatsilam beyom evrat Adonai nafsham lo yesabbe'u ume'ehem lo yemalle'u ki-mikhshol avonam hayah

They shall throw their silver into the streets, and their gold shall be treated as something unclean. Their silver and gold shall not avail to save them in the day of GOD’s wrath—to satisfy their hunger or to fill their stomachs. Because they made them stumble into guilt—

utsevi edyo lega'on samahu vetsalme to'avotam shiqqutsehem asu vo al-ken netattiv lahem leniddah

for out of their beautiful adornments, in which they took pride, they made their images and their detestable abominations—therefore I will make their adornments a source of uncleanness to them.

unetattiv beyad-hazzarim lavaz ulerishe ha'arets leshalal (vkhllvh) [vekhilleluhu]

I will give them as spoil to strangers, and as plunder to the wicked of the earth; and they shall defile them.

vahasibboti fanay mehem vekhillelu et-tsefuni uva'u-vah paritsim vekhilleluha

I will turn My face from them, and My treasures shall be defiled; ruffians shall invade it and defile it.

aseh harattoq ki ha'arets male'ah mishpat damim veha'ir male'ah khamas

Forge the chain, for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of lawlessness.

veheveti ra'e goyim veyareshu et-battehem vehishbatti ge'on azzim venikhalu meqadshehem

I will bring in the worst of the nations to take possession of their houses; so shall I turn to naught the pride of the powerful, and their sanctuaries shall be defiled.

qefadah-va uviqshu shalom va'ayin

Horror comes, and they shall seek safety, but there shall be none.

hovah al-hovah tavo ushemu'ah el-shemu'ah tihyeh uviqshu khazon minnavi vetorah tovad mikkohen ve'etsah mizzeqenim

Calamity shall follow calamity, and rumor follow rumor. Then they shall seek vision from the prophet in vain; instruction shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

hammelekh yitabbal venasi yilbash shemamah vide am-ha'arets tibbahalenah middarkam e'eseh otam uvemishpetehem eshpetem veyade'u ki-ani Adonai

The king shall mourn, the prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall tremble. I will treat them in accordance with their own ways and judge them according to their deserts. And they shall know that I am GOD.
